BOSTON UNIVERSITY CALENDAR 



FOREWORD 

J HE first Boston University Calendar may be left to speak for itself 

T\\ without any words of introduction. We hope that it will call 
\\ out the same loyal response from its readers that it has done 
from its contributors. In behalf of Boston University Women 
Graduates' Club I wish to thank the President and the other 
busy educators from our own University and other educational 
centers, who have given us their valuable help. We would especially include 
in this word of thanks the friend who selected so many quotations from Professor 
Bowne's writings. Also allow me personally to thank the Committee of the 
Whole who have so cordially co-operated with me in the preparation of this 
Calendar. The original plan to limit each contribution to fifty words or less 
was necessarily abandoned because of the unavoidable loss of much valuable 
material. The reader can readily understand that this change in our plans 
compelled us to sacrifice many birthdays on account of the brevity or length 
of the contributed thoughts. We greatly regret that an overabundance of 
splendid material reached us too late for insertion in the calendar. 

We decided to attach the degrees to the name of each contributor, because 
in this way we could specify to the reader the workers in the different depart- 
ments of our University, also the niches in life that our graduates and special 
students are so ably filling. 

It will be noticed that some of the thoughts have no signatures. The con- 
tributors will not be so modest, I am sure, if another similar invitation is 
extended to them. 

We wish to assure you that although many are the builders of this calendar, 
they are one in their love and devotion to our University. If, in spite of earnest 
effort, errors have crept in, we crave your indulgence. 

•¥■ Indicates birthday of contributor and has been credited as nearly as 
possible to the first contribution received for that day. 

D Indicates member Boston University Women Graduates' Club. 

(B. U.) After degrees signifies that all the degrees have been conferred 
upon the writer by the Boston University. When several degrees are attached 
to the name and (5. U.) does not appear, it indicates that one or more degrees 
have been conferred by B.U. and the other or others by some other University 
or College. When the home address could not be obtained the business address 
has been given.

REV. LEWIS BATES 

"Grandfather Bates" 
;HE following incident regarding Rev. Lewis Bates was 
related by his son, Rev. Lewis Benton Bates, D.D. 



After preaching one night at a little schoolhouse, he gave a 
closing invitation for those who would give their hearts to the 
Lord to stand. There was a moment's silence and then a little 
fisher-lad arose. I think the old preacher must have had in mind 
another little fisher-lad of old, as he laid his hands upon his head and 
said: "God bless you, my boy. May He feed you with the bread of 
life that some day you may feed many. May He so fill your heart 
with Heavenly wisdom that some day you may be the means of 
dispensing wisdom to hundreds." The little fisher-lad went out 
into the darkness, but he was another boy from what he was when 
he had entered the schoolhouse meeting. The Lord had spoken to 
him, and a great thing had happened in his heart. As he had 
entered the room, he was only an ordinary little fisher-pedler, one 
of hundreds of village boys; as he went out, the Lord had placed the 
beginnings of such wondrous things in his heart that that little lad 
one day became the man who made a fortune, and with that fortune 
founded a great university, where "wisdom is still dispensed to 
hundreds." The Httle boy's name was Isaac Rich, and Boston 
University today calls him "Father." 

From "My Wonder Book."

Rev. Lewis Bates was the grandfather of Ex-Gov. John Lewis 
Bates, and Mrs. Emma Bates Harvey.

ROSWELL R. ROBINSON 

R. Righteously Rich 
R. Richly Righteous 
R. Royally Reticent 

[SKED some years since for a tribute to this silver 

All crowned, white-souled saint, the writer closed with the 
if^ above interpretation of the three R's, which had 
already become a talisman to his soul. The years 
that have passed since have only served to deepen the feeling of 
reverence and affection which prompted it, and to strengthen the 
conviction of its accuracy. An indefinable charm there is in this 
life and personality which a gracious God endowed so richly with 
talents of mind and graces of heart, and as graciously permits to 
linger long with those who love him much, that ere he goes to the 
great mansion prepared for him by One who loves him more, they 
may catch the evening glory of his soul. Truly the charm is inde- 
finable. Its elements were not so easy of analysis as in most men, so 
subtly are they combined. Childlike simplicity, with the most 
penetrating practical insight; the sternest righteousness of conduct, 
with broadest liberality of view; rigid business principles, with ten- 
derest sympathy for life; a personal reticence almost austere, with a 
sacrificial interest in every progressive religious movement, almost 
sublime; a readiness to go at the summons of his Father to the 
better world, with an intense desire to stay and help make the world 
better; a Christian who loves his church for what it has done for 
him, who gives himself and his means to the Church for what it can 
do for others; — a miser of every penny when useless waste is 
threatened, a princely giver of thousands v/hen great causes are in 
the balance. 

God has given to the University we love many noble spirits 
whose names are like incense to countless grateful hearts, — but He 
has given none more worthy of our heart's affection than is he whose 
trinity of R's stands for the type of character which, pray Heaven, 
the University may be able to produce.

TRIBUTE TO THE FACULTY OF THE BOSTON UNI- 
VERSITY LAW SCHOOL 

RETROSPECTIVE 

jT is an extremely difficult task in the brief space here 
allotted to write a just and adequate appreciation of 
that noble and highly cultivated body of men, who 
have so faithfully and well served as professors and 
lecturers in the Boston University Law School, many 
of whom have passed on. Each possessed in a marked degree a 
strong and enduring personality which would in justice call for 
extended individual tributes. It is, therefore, with feelings of 
delicacy, mingled with hesitation that one of the former students 
of the University takes up his pen and refers briefly in words of 
appreciation to a few of these talented teachers of the law. The 
writer, therefore, earnestly trusts that in writing these few lines, he 
has, at least expressed in part the kindly and tender feelings of that 
large body of students which has in the past been so fortunate as 
to sit under the inspiring teachings of this cultured body of edu- 
cators, whose works still live and will ever live. 

We refer briefly to George Stillman Hillard, LL.D., Dean and 
Professor, celebrated lawyer, gifted orator, editor, author, educator; 
N. St. John Green, LL.B., Acting Dean, Professor, talented lawyer, 
gifted and brilliant teacher ; Edmund H. Bennett, LL.D., Dean and 
Professor, of broad, deep and liberal intellectual training, judicial 
poise and analytical, of large sympathies, calm, dignified and kindly 
personality, a man who not only possessed a clear perception of the 
law and kindred subjects, but in a masterly manner was enabled to 
impart his knowledge to others. Judge Bennett was beloved by 
all who knew him. Other familiar faces appear before us : Dwight 
Foster, LL.D., Professor, of learned and calm judicial temperament, 
a born teacher, and a former Justice of the Massachusetts Supreme 
Judicial Court; Charles Theodore Russell, A. M., Professor, of 
broad and liberal learning, kindly, genial, humorous, beloved by the 
students; Professor Elias Merwin, of liberal scholarship, polished 
lecturer, distinguished educator; Henry W. Paine, LL.D., a bril- 
liant lawyer, whose keen eye penetrated and solved the most com- 
plicated problems of real estate law; Francis Wharton, S.T.D., 
LL.D., eminent jurist, distinguished educator, writer on legal and 
kindred subjects, authority on conflict of laws; Uriel H. Crocker, 
LL.B., critical lawyer, learned in legal research; John Ordronaux, 
LL.D., graceful, fluent, cultivated lecturer on medical jurisprudence; 
Hon. Edward J. Phelps, LL.D., authority on constitutional law, 
political leader, able lecturer, celebrated educator, diplomat, min- 



12 BOSTON UNIVERSITY CALENDAR 



ister to the Court of St. James under President Cleveland; Pro- 
fessor Frank Goodwin, critical, faithful, earnest and learned edu- 
cator, thoroughly in love with his work. Still other faces appear 
before us: Benjamin R. Curtis, LL.D., John E. Wetherbee, LL.B., 
Edward L. Pierce, LL.D., Otis P. Lord, LL.D., W. B. Lawrence, 
LL.D., Benjamin T. Thomas, LL.D., John Lowell, LL.D., Chauncy 
Smith, A. M., William G. Hammond, LL.D., and many others. Each 
of these cultivated scholars was recognized as an expert in his 
chosen specialties of the law; each one in his special department of 
study exerted a mighty influence for good, and by precept and 
example exhorted the students to follow and exemplify the highest, 
ethical and legal ideals. We gladly refer to the deep-seated inter- 
ests in this institution of former Dean Melville M. Bigelow, Ph.D., 
a ripe scholar, of broad and extensive reading, profound learning, 
exact scholarship, a legal writer of national repute and celebrated 
educator, who for many years was an honored lecturer, subse- 
quently became Professor, later Dean, and at the present time is a 
professor in the University; and James Schouler, LL.D., noted lec- 
turer on law, writer on legal subjects, noted historian, until recently 
a lecturer in the University. We would gladly refer to many 
other noted lecturers and educators who have served this institution 
in the department of law and are still serving it at the present time. 
But this article largely refers to the past, not to the present. 

Is the work of these celebrated educators finished? No, it has 
just commenced. The memories of the classroom and lecture hall 
can never fade; they are fixed and lasting pictures in the chambers 
of memory. The helpful and inspiring influences of these high- 
minded and cultured men have exerted influences far reaching. 
They have gone forth and have been felt directly or indirectly by a 
large number of people in all departments of human endeavor. 
These educators studied to direct, instruct, inform, inculcate, train, 
advise, teach and enlighten. As it has been truly said, "The teacher, 
like the poet, must be born, and then born again; for the spirit must 
quicken the spirit, and life inspire life, before knowledge can grow 
to wisdom; and wisdom, set on fire with love, can lift the world to 
Him who is 'the truth and the life.' " There is no branch of learn- 
ing that offers a broader or more complete course of study than the 
law, no field that offers a deeper development of true and inspiring 
manhood, for the law in its different phases reaches all conditions 
and classes of men and when laws are justly enacted, properly 
interpreted, and honestly administered, they should lead all men 
to the highest ideals of Christian citizenship. It is, therefore, the 
duty of the lawyer as a faithful student of these learned and con- 
scientious teachers, to study carefully and emulate the highest, 
ethical and legal ideals; to consider well the Oath of his exalted 
office and all that it means to humanity and himself; to encourage 
calmness not tumult, order not disorder, harmony not discord, 



BOSTON UNIVERSITY CALENDAR 13 



peace not strife; to discourage unworthy litigation; never under 
any circumstances to commercialize his profession; to remember 
that he is an honored officer of the court, that he has certain sacred 
duties to perform, not only for his clients, but for the community 
in which he lives, that he must seek for and develop the latent and 
dormant good and not the bad in man, that he should earnestly 
seek for absolute truth, for perfect justice, for the lowest as well as 
highest, for the weakest as well as the strongest, that his aim 
should be the constant betterment of humanity, remembering what 
has been so aptly said, "Of law there can be no less acknowledged, 
than that her seat is the bosom of God, her voice the harmony of 
the world."

B. U. SCHOOL OF MEDICINE 

iN November 5th, 1873, Boston University School of 

0\\ Medicine opened its doors for the reception of its first 
II class. Up to 1915 eleven hundred and thirty (1130) 
students have been graduated from the School, and 
representatives of its alumni may be found not only 
in the various states of the Union, but in Japan, China, India, 
Turkey, Africa, and Australia. 

The School has always stood for co-education in medicine. 

It was the first medical school to demand examinations of 
applicants for matriculation who are not college graduates. 

It was also the first to offer a graded course of three years. 
(1873.) 

In 1878 it was the first medical school in this country to offer a 
four-years' course. 

In 1890 it was the first to make that course compulsory. 

In 1878 it offered a course leading to the degrees Bachelor of 
Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery. 

In 1907 it was the first medical school to institute an optional 
five-years' graded course. 

In 1908 it offered, in conjunction with the College of Liberal 
Arts of Boston University, a six-years' combination course, where- 
by the two degrees Sc.B. and M.D. might be acquired. 

In 1912 its graduates became eligible, under certain specified 
conditions, to the degree of Ph.D. of the Graduate School of 
Boston University. 

It is the only medical school which possesses three medals, won 
(in 1904, in 1905, and in 1908) on the merits of its exhibits in open 
competition at national and international congresses. 

During the forty-two years since its inception its buildings 
have been more than doubled in size, its course more than doubled 
in length, its Faculty and subjects included in its curriculum more 
than doubled in number, and its clinical facilities increased more 
than four fold.

ISRAEL TISDALE TALBOT, M.D. 

Born October 29, 1828— Died July 2, 1899 

^^ E was a born "captain ;" a successful leader, full of energy, 
T T \\ initiative and endurance; determined, persistent, but 
-*--*• (^ able to yield a poiiit if it seemed for the good of the 
^j) cause; of quick and keen perception, and possessed 
of an intuition as to the probable success of a venture. He was 
a judge of human nature and skilful in stimulating all about 
him to high endeavor and earnest labor. He was a moving spirit 
in local, state, national and international medical associations. 
With high ideals of loyalty and duty and a deep sense of personal 
responsibility, he devoted his life with tireless energy to the wel- 
fare of humanity. 

Chiefly through Dr. Talbot's force of character, tact, methods, 
foresight, and ability the Boston Homoeopathic Medical Dispensary, 
the Massachusetts Homoeopathic Hospital, the Boston University 
School of Medicine and the Westborough State Hospital for the 
Insane came into existence and grew into firmly established suc- 
cessful institutions. 

By his contagious enthusiasm the New England Medical 
Gazette was brought through its critical early days and matured 
into a strong and influential journal, and the American Institute of 
Homoeopathy, at the close of the Civil War, was rejuvenated, 
reorganized and started on a long career of usefulness as an influen- 
tial national organization. 

Dr. Talbot was an unreserved advocate of co-education and a 
champion of higher medical education. As a progressive, daring 
surgeon, he performed the first successful tracheotomy by the 
Trousseau method in this country. His was not only a dominating 
personality, a phenomenal organizing and executive ability, but his 
skill and sympathy made him a typical, respected and beloved 
family physician, a wise counsellor and loyal friend.

HENRY G. AHLBORN, M.D. 

'O have lived honorably before all men; to have given 
' I ^ \\ unceasingly and ungrudgingly for the amelioration of 
^ others; to have contributed much to the happiness of 
all with whom he came in contact; to have added to 
the store of knowledge in the profession of which he was a loyal 
member, — these things, so true of the late Dr. Ahlborn, are reasons 
enough for this tribute. 

No one met him who did not appreciate his splendid manhood ; 
no patient consulted him who did not at once give him his entire 
confidence ; no friend was made who did not consider this friendship 
one of the rare blessings of his life. Marcus Aurelius once said, 
"Whatever is in any way beautiful hath its source of beauty in 
itself and is complete in itself; praise forms no part of it, so it is 
none the worse nor better for being praised." 

Of one thing more let me speak; and that is of the wonderful 
courage, the patient submission, and the abounding cheerfulness 
which attended his last illness. The memory of this life and its 
influence will not be forgotten.

ANIMAE CANDIDAE 

THOMAS BOND LINDSAY, 1853-1909 
IS colleagues mourn the loss of a teacher gifted and 
inspiring, a counsellor wise and sympathetic, but most 
of all a friend. I have never known a spirit as fine as 
his. Clear sighted as he was, incapable as he was of anything but 
intellectual honesty, he yet had the kindest tolerance for the short- 
comings of others. Cant and pretence he abhorred ; pettiness and 
vulgar self-seeking he despised. Generous in every instinct, he gave 
without stint of his time and strength in the service of others, 
thinking it his highest reward if he could help less gifted souls in 
the search for truth. To what he was and to what he taught, many 
who were fortunate enough to know him owe in large measure what 
they may have attained, for to few enough has it been given to see 
life so nobly patterned in a man of such uncommon gifts and so 
truly generous a nature. 



A. H. Rice,

JOHN EASTMAN CLARKE, Ph.D. 

[T is little wonder that Dr. Clarke came to be known 
I ^ as the student's friend. He had a close personal 
interest in the lives and future of his pupils. He was 
singularly sensitive and forever helping poor struggling students 
and saying nothing about it. The struggler was to him always 
an object of special sympathy. This sympathy was fundamen- 
tally connected with his humorous appreciation of all life, its 
oddities, its idiosyncrasies, its incongruities. He realized that we 
are all fellows, that the poorest and the queerest and the worst 
are of like passions, with ourselves. 

In this sympathy and humorous appreciation of life may be 
read the secret of his patience, his affection, his simplicity, his 
wisdom.

BOSTONIA, ITS ORIGIN AND EDITORSHIP 

^^^N answer to an inquiry, Professor Joseph R. Taylor, 

I ^ A.M., the accomplished and obHging Editor of our 

^ & . . . 

j^=^^=^==^ chief University organ writes as follows: — 

"The facts are these: In 1898 the University established the 
little quarterly called 'Boston University Notes.' This was a little 
periodical of sixteen pages, published exclusively for the benefit of 
the College of Liberal Arts. In April, 1900, at the suggestion of 
Dr. Barker, the University began the publication of Bostonia, as a 
University Organ, to help him in his work of raising money. For 
some time the two publications ran along side by side. In July, 
1902, the two periodicals were merged under the name Bostonia, and 
the name 'University Notes' was dropped with the publication of 
the issue of April, 1902. 

"While the 'University Notes' were published I was one of the 
board of three editors beginning with the first issue and continuing 
until the publication was merged with Bostonia. When Bostonia 
was established Professor Rishell was appointed editor-in-chief, and 
I then wrote the items from the College of Liberal Arts. 

In March, 1904, Professor Rishell resigned the editorship of 
Bostonia and the Trustees appointed me as his successor. As 
nearly as I can fix the date it was March 20, 1904, when I received 
my appointment. The first issue under the new editorship was 
that of April, 1904. Since that time my service has been con- 
tinuous."

iF we could take the soul's temperature, put one's finger 
JL \\ on the spiritual pulse, weigh and measure the soul's 
growth, should we not discover certain laws as appli- 
cable to the soul as to the body? 

Then, why not use the same remedies when the spirit is lean 
and run down? 

A properly nourished body is active, an active body must be 
fed. Give your soul something to do, wake it up with exercise and 
see how keenly the appetite returns for spiritual food, and com- 
pletes the cycle by renewed energies and loftier ambitions.

No. 1. Over the fireplace of my home hangs this motto: 
"If we can't have what we like, 
Let us like what we can get." 

No. 2. Spenser says: 

"For not that which men covet most is best, 
Nor that thing worst which men do most refuse. 
But fittest is that each contented rest 
With that they hold." 

No. 3. A Persian Monarch had a beautiful lot of land in the 
center of the town, which he publicly offered to give to that one of 
his subjects whom he found to be perfectly contented. For a long

IN Bunyan's immortal allegory there is no more wonder- 
I jj ful and significant passage than that which describes 
the Interpreter's House. Here, in a series of unfor- 
gettable pictures, the glorious dreamer gives concrete embodiment 
to the truth of the deepest experiences of human life. He sets forth 
with vividness the things that are of eternal worth, and makes us 
forget, for a time at least, the trivial and the base. To be an 
Interpreter, and to make the art of eloquence an Interpreter's 
House — this is the Supreme duty of platform art, the Supreme duty 
and the highest privilege — for he who interprets fully and worthily 
has the proud prerogative of peopling anew the vast realm of 
memory and imagination."

TO YOU. A SONNET 
\Y open window, in a pensive mood, 

I stood to-day ; below me, stretched a waste 
Of factory roofs; and refuse, cast in haste, 
Defiled : a few brown birds, seeking their food. 
Paused and were off, since nothing for a brood 
Was to be found. The sight of them quick checked 
The mood; and then, I saw beyond, bedecked 
In tender green, the hills in glory stand. 
So has it been with us, dear heart, so sweet! 
We looked that day upon a present bared 
Of promise ; yet on hill tops trees did greet 
And beckoned welcome to us ; and we fared — 
Ah — but together, dear, from other ills. 
To love and life, amid the Glory of the Hills.

iCCORDING to the teaching of Jesus, in his startling 
picture of the Judgment, as recorded by Matthew, a 
happy destiny for eternity depends upon our putting 
love into our simple daily tasks, into such common-place things as 
preparing food for the hungry (and giving foods), making clothes 
for people (and providing shelter), welcoming strangers (including 
little children), caring for the sick (and the unfortunate), and 
rescuing the criminal (and the wayward). Heaven is not won by 
doing extraordinary things, but by doing ordinary things in an 
extraordinary way, that is with love for those for whom we do 
them; and not for mercenary or selfish purposes.

'HE vocational emphasis in education may be good, and 
I W it may be very bad. It is vicious when it degrades 
education to the level of a preparation for making a 
living. 

Making a living is not worth while. Making a life worthy of a 
living is a great task worthy of all struggle and sacrifice. Real 
education is making a life. The world is full of truth, beauty, 
reality of many kinds. These belong to life. Education is the 
training of life's capacities to apprehend, appropriate, and use the 
universe of truth and reality. No life is educated which has learned 
to appropriate one kind of reality, the material, as against the 
spiritual, or vice versa.

Helen Niks Gary, A.B. (B. U.)

Selection from the writings of Professor Borden P. Bowne, LL.D. 
"I do not think that Christianity removes many, if any, of the 
intellectual difficulties we feel in contemplating life and the world ; 
it rather outflanks them by a revelation of God which makes it 
possible to trust and love him, notwithstanding the mystery of 
his ways."

I RESENT day tendencies in journalism mean three 
M >^ things of importance to women journalists: (1) that 
women themselves are growing and demand better 
papers : (2) that there is a growing demand for women writers who 
alone can furnish the new and better journalism for women: and 
(3) that a trivial society column or a sentimental woman's page 
is no longer the highest goal which a sensible woman journalist may 
hope to attain. A high-grade, uplifting woman's page, which men 
as well as women may read with profit, a page requiring more 
ability, more character, higher ideals, greater faith in women, 
greater expectations for women than have been seen is the logical 
outcome for the near future. It is the journalism which is surely 
on the way, and for which it is worth while for women journalists 
to prepare.

EVENING PRAYER 

JAY this night's rest so refresh both body and mind that 
Jv/| \\ the morning's outlook will be filled with an intense, 
unselfish longing to help make all the world happier, 
more abounding in love and kindness. 

Willard A. Paul, M.D, 
Lecturer B.U.S. M, 



Dorchester, Mass. 



'Rest is not quitting 
The busy career. 
Rest is the fitting 

Of self to one's sphere. 



This loving and serving 
The highest and best 

'Tis onward unswerving 
And this is true rest." 



Selected.

GOOD time for reflection! Won't an extra effort 
make the coming year a little more distinctive, a little 
more worth while? What is wanted is not ninety- 
nine percent, efficiency, or an average performance that is going to 
show up well and make us self-confident. The thing needed is the 
strength of body, mind and character to judge without bias, to 
decide from existing evidence, and to bring the matter at issue to a 
reputable finish, whatever the cost. 

Harry J. Lee, M.D. (B. U.) 
Lecturer B.U.S. M. 

Boston, Mass.

FAREWELL TO THE OLD YEAR 
?^5ss><s£«|:iNG out the old, ring in the new, 
J\. i^ Ri'^g" happy bells, across the snow: 
s^ The year is going, let him go; 
Ring out the false, ring in the true. 

Ring out false pride in place and blood. 
The civic slander and the spite; 
Ring in the love of truth and right, 
Ring in the common love of good. 

Ring in the valiant man and free, 
The larger heart, the kindlier hand : 
Ring out the darkness of the land, 
Ring in the Christ that is to be.
